Program Duration: September 29 - December 6, 2025
This document outlines the weekly milestones for our Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Computational Data Science program. Our cohort includes students working on two primary research tracks:
Welcome to our Research Experience for Undergraduates CDS (Computational Data Science) program! Below you’ll find our talented cohort of undergraduate researchers, their academic backgrounds, and the exciting research projects they’re working on this Fall 2025.
Major: Computer Science Year: Senior
Research Interest: Deep Learning Applications in Culinary Context (Group 1)
Marcus will develop a computer vision application that classifies a photographed food item and returns the predicted label with an associated confidence score. This tool supports reliable, on-device food recognition.
